Mark 14:50-60

50 Then all the disciples abandoned him and ran away.
51 A certain young man was following Jesus. He had nothing on but a linen sheet. They tried to arrest him,
52 but he left the linen sheet behind and ran away naked.
53 The men took Jesus to the chief priest. All the chief priests, leaders, and scribes had gathered together.
54 Peter followed him at a distance and went into the chief priest's courtyard. He sat with the guards and warmed himself facing the glow of a fire.
55 The chief priests and the whole Jewish council were searching for some testimony against Jesus in order to execute him. But they couldn't find any.
56 Many gave false testimony against him, but their statements did not agree.
57 Then some men stood up and gave false testimony against him. They said,
58 "We heard him say, 'I'll tear down this temple made by humans, and in three days I'll build another temple, one not made by human hands.'"
59 But their testimony did not agree even on this point.
60 So the chief priest stood up in the center and asked Jesus, "Don't you have any answer to what these men testify against you?"
